[FedCom] Mystery Aircraft & Radio Monitoring

[Ken]

Well I'm not really into the CIA rendition flights, I was using the list 
more as a potential government contracted aircraft list.  BTW most of those 
listed IMHO wouldn't be carrying supplies since most are small aircraft. 
The military has cargo aircraft for effectively & efficiently deliving 
supplies to Cuba.

There's a lot of non mystery aircraft, such as "JUSTICE" flights that are 
contracted (or agency owned) aero by the USMS for moving prisoners around. 
"ROSS" flights are generally FBI aircraft on mission (and than revert back 
to their tail numbers). "FLIGHT CHECK" are FAA aircraft checking out navaids 
& runways electronics.  I'm sure that there's others that have a meaning to 
the FAA air traffic control system.

HOWEVER, these mystery aircraft most likely are just using their typical FAA 
tail # as a callsign, although they might use other airline callsigns 
(defunct businesses).  There's lots of biz jets flying around the country 
today.
An example of the use of mystery aircraft was when the King of Jordan 
visited the Vice President in Wyoming.  He left Westover JARB (civilian 
metro side) (KCEF) on his aircraft JORDIAN 001 for Salt Lake City, UT --  
what type of aircraft he used to fly into the VP's local airport Jackson 
Hole WY (KJAC).

Again, I'm not interested so much in conspiracy theories, but just basically 
having a curiosity about the various aircraft.  Especially those that are 
operating in/out of military airfields -- perhaps the mystery will 
continue!!!
